The image you are refering to is Custom Theme Resource. If you want to use Custom themes instead like you had with UxStyle, you can enable the BypassThemeSignature feature in Aero Glass utility. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM in regedit, create a new DWORD key named BypassThemeSignature and set it to 1(0 to disable). After a restart you can use custom themes on your Windows 8.1. ok, thanks!

I removed UXStyleCore (I always forget the full name) which turned out to be the cause of the problem I was having a while back. I see that we need an image to use custom themes through AeroGlass, is there a way to get the images for existing custom themes like snowy v3.0?

The culprit is most likely UltraUXThemePatcher since it use direct system file patching instead of memory patching like UxStyle. Besides, if you're using AeroGlass, getting any other theme patcher is overkill, just set the DWM:BypassThemeSignature to 1 or better yet, use the CustomThemeResource value. Interesting... I'll try removing it and using one of your suggestions thanks.

Nice to see a thread on this again. I've had to wipe my computer a few times because Windows Update keeps failing (and system restore sometimes fails after that)... apparently it has something to do with a conflict between AeroGlass and some customization I've made... the customization programs I've used other than AeroGlass are AGTweaker, UltraUXThemePatcher, Decor8, StartIsBack, and TinyWindowBorders. I have donated and used the full version of AeroGlass, and holding down the ctrl key didn't help. Anyone else having trouble with this or know which is the problem?

Just got around to using .91 lol. Looks great, no artifacts anymore, swatches got fixed. Still have bugs in the preview images for my new themes though (Custom was made around .8, Random theme I saved from Custom in .91, rest are old) https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20887877/Jing/2013-05-18_1213.png Themes themselves are working fine. I would very much like a way to control the transparency of the automatic color though, when/if you can get around to it. I'll try .92 now. Edit: May have just been a corrupt theme from something unrelated, looks like the color, mouse pointers, and sounds weren't being saved on those themes, and the issue was gone soon as I deleted those themes and remade them from a working theme.

you can narrow it down by seeing if beta 3 still works.

My taskbars match my windows now. Didn't really change anything, though windows explorer restarted itself a few times since I restarted the computer. My guess is that the effect will go back to not matching when I restart, but I'll let you know.

It's a fairly common compression format, I use ALZip, I hear 7zip is also good.

Well if a command prompt came up when you ran it, then it's an old outdated version, and has the command prompt rather than the popups. You can try running the game in a window, but otherwise all I can say is disable it when you aren't testing. There's no .exe, just modify the .reg file so it points to the right place, run it, and install AGTweaker from its other topic in this forum to make changes. We should make a FAQ.

Well, I dont use a weather widget. I have very useful usage meters and temp monitors that are not available on Rainmeter. What sorts of monitors? I could use some more. :U .7 had popups, maybe slight less frequency but I can't tell. If there was a .07 it was one of the ooold ones I was referring to, won't do you much good. Fine except it lacked support for multiple monitors, I suppose. Doubt anything was interfering, probably the person didn't notice them or got a cracked version somehow. Yeah it'll be removed in the full version I'm sure. Well, I dont use a weather widget. I have very useful usage meters and temp monitors that are not available on Rainmeter. It's name might be rainmeter, but it provides much more than a weather widget. Looks like you didn't look into it enough. It supports all sorts of usage/temp/net/playback info an is much easier if you want to script stuff yourself. Otherwise getting a skin you like is not different from installing a gadget... This. It has a ton of styles to match much better than anything else out there.

If that is Gadget8 you are using, I recommend up update it. Or switch to Rainmeter. Don't think there was such a version, you probably just didn't use it long enough to notice. If it's really old, it may have been one of the early previews with a visible debug window maybe. All those are outdated now, if you can't deal with the popup just wait for release.

Interesting bug you may have missed: When Firefox is on top of Word 2013, Word isn't blurred. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20887877/Jing/2013-05-06_2048.png That's the only combination I've found so far.

Windows version perhaps? I have x64 pro, downloaded a day or two after release, fully upgraded I think. I applied the reg key multiple times because of that error, but yeah, that shouldn't have done anything. Not sure what else it would be either. What was it supposed to do?

Some of them appear to be the wrong color, yes. Hovering over one gives a name. Looks like it's the wrong name, hovering over green says "Blush" and turns the window pink: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20887877/Jing/2013-05-06_1737.png I exported the swatches registry branch, so I think I'll be fine there... don't really use any colors other than auto and white anyway. Also the square for the active theme's (and maybe others if I change, haven't tried) color has been missing since I installed .9 https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20887877/Jing/2013-05-06_1739.png
